Tldr; Wet newspaper dipped in ashes.
So, the other day I had to clean out the fireplace, and ofc the fireplace window(glass) was rather dirty. Tried for a while to get rid of it with paper, then scrubbing it off with a one-time-use sponge etc… nothing gave any good results.
Then, I came across this random video online of a woman who said to use wet newspaper dipped in ashes from the stove, and start scrubing - This works like a charm! Forget all expensive chemicals and soaps to do this job, just KISS! Keep-it-simple-stupid.
Please give this a go next time you have to clean your wood-burning stove.
I just use ammonia free glass cleaner and a paper towel
Wear gloves. Potash (which generally contains potassium carbonate) isn’t something you necessarily want to dip your hands in.
Fuck that, the foam spray you get is absolutely fantastic. It’s a dirty enough job as it is!
Fire cleanses all
Yes, in my experience a sooty window comes from incomplete burn. That soot is flammable! Burn it off.

Would wet cloth and baking soda work?
Would an old sock and baby powder work?
Try an old baby and sock powder
